guilfoyle, >> i'm kimberly guilfoyle along with juan williams and eric and

andrea and julia. this is "the five."ngre congressional leaders met with president obama at the white house in a last ditch attempt to come to an agreement on how to avoid the looming fiscal cliff crisis. as the hours tick down, neither side is optimistic a deal wills be reach by the deadline.ti what will that mean for the american people?er eric? >> again, i'm on record assaying i was with you huddy s this morning saying we should name it the obama life and swan dive offit of it because it is the only way democrats will cut spending because they are forced into it.ap if a deal doesn't get struck the next couple of months people's pay checks will get smaller because payroll taxes will have expired. pay taxes a different way because the alternative minimum tax won't be patched and will have to be addressed as well.

spending cuts over time willnk happen as well.st i think the stock market will get hit hard. here i am saying let's do thiss i have the most to lose of anyk one i know. it is the o only way to fix thh economy. economy. >> okay. take us through what each side is wanting. >> here's what the deal is. president obama wants tax cuts to expire for everyone except those making $250,000 a year. john boehner's plan "b" was anyone making under $1 million a year. neither seemed to work. it looked like president obottomma was coming back with the same deal, $250. they are miles apart. they are miles apart. >> there is a big divide. andrea, you were able to speak with a number of people on the hill. what reaction are you getting? >> well, the president has spread these stories and people in his administration that he is going to come to the table with a deal. we have been hearing that all week long. that did not happen. swan dive, we're going off the cliff. president obama wants us to go

off. he is going to come back with a larger plan, the obama tax cuts. then he will be able to reinstate those across-the-board sequestration cuts to gut things like defense, national institutes of health. he will be able to reinstate a lot of programs and give his caucus the opportunity to say, look, i am voting for something and to restore tax cuts for the middle class. i am voting to restore the great things. and the republicans are going to be in a really tough position because no one's going to say, let's vote to restore the tax cuts for the rich. this is his game plan from day one. >> what's the alternate sniff $250,000 and above -- everything we see -- obama is not offering cuts at all. he is lock looking for spending. >> he is managing the message. so it seems like he's being conciliatory. boehner hassen a lot of heat. he has taken a ton of slack on

this. he was given a tential hand of cards. but he came to the table. he tried to at least bring something to the floor. mitch mcconnell knows he is not going to be able to pass anything, any tax cuts. kimberly that, wouldn't pass the senate. let me tell you that. >> allow me to introduce just a little bit of sanity to this forum and say that -- >> yes, juan, please! >> it's incredible to me that you would say they are far apart. actually, they are not far apart. boehner wants a trillion in new revenue, however he gets it, closing loopholes, deductions. obama is $1.2. that's not far apart. boehner says let's have one for one, $twenty1 trillion in cuts. obama is $1.3, actually, more than barron, dmeapt -- let me finish -- except that obama has stimulus spending built in

there. these guys are not far apart. but what we have -- >> the problem -- [overlapping dialogue] >> boehner can get a million dollars -- >> no, no. that's because -- you can't blame that on the democrats [overlapping dialogue] >> how dare they do this to a guest. how dare you? >> welcome tote program. >> thank you very much. >> we are out of time now. [laughter] >> now a word from our sponsors. i want to ask youtical fallout. a lot of people are saying -- let's blame the democrats or the republicans. right now, it seems the democrats are winning the messaging game here. but who will be to blame if we go over the cliff? >> correct me if i am wrong -- especially you -- but it seems like the conventional wisdom, when wh all is said and done, obama will come out looking nice. but right now, what he doesn't care about is a popularity boost in the polls. what ultimately the president cares about, like all presidents, is the legacy.

what happens after all of this is said and done, four years from now -- if he blow this is one, this is part of his legacy. that's what we will remember. so blaming somebody in a couple of weeks is pointless. >> i think that's exactly right. >> he is invested in getting something done here to make hike him look better. >> that's what they want everyone in america to believe, if they get something done, it will be better for the economy. the dirty little secret, that's the worst thing that could happen. if they do something, it's a bad deal that will tank the economy in two, three, four years, no deal is the only shot of getting a more healthy, robust economy. >> this is the attitude that has us mired in the muck -- >> $25 trillion in debt -- >> nobody's leaving -- >> everybody is saying we need cuts. let's be rational for a second and cool the rhetoric. everybody says we need to have cuts and deal with the deficit. but you can't do it in such a way that you do it in a sudden flash -- >> sudden flash! >> and it causes the economy to crater. >> it's been four years and so

many meetings. >> excuse me, do you think republicans have no complicity in passing two wars without funding it. >> democrats voted for the war in iraq, including hillary clinton, if you want to go there. >> republicans voted for this. my point -- >> entitlements. you said hayare not miles apart. >> they're not! >> what's the plan on entitlements. >> the president has put on the table, the chain cpi to slow the rate of growth -- >> slow the rate of growth is not a cut, juan! >> it is a cut! >> even john boehner says that's a cut. the left thinks that's a cut -- >> no plan. there are no plans. >> let's go up to $400, if you want. so what we're talking about, eric, is a cut for 99% of americans. they keep the bush tax cuts. you would think republicans would be seb berating. >> juan's drinking the kool-aid,

man. >> i agree that the republicans are no better in this -- >> oh! let me take your comment about drinking the kool-aid. you sold them on the kool-aid. >> what flavor is it, juan? grape? cherry. >> andrea, i have to disagree with you. he has been handed a house that went republican because they said, no raising taxes. >> eric -- >> he knew what he was getting into. >> he lost seats. he didn't have the votes to try to get some sort of deal passed. >> john boehner brought the house republicans. >> guess what's going to happen? he is going to get a worse deal -- a worse deal after the new year. that's the political reality. i work in the house for years. i know what this guy's a very shrewd operator -- >> who? >> yeah -- >> i want to ask -- we had this lecture after the gabrielle giffords shooting and colorado, we have to be responsible with

the way we talk about guns. but steny heuer decides to equate holding your kids hostage and murder to theic fiscal cliff. >> it is somewhat like taking your child hostage and saying to somebody else, i am going to shoot my child if you don't do what i want done. you don't want to shoot your child. there is no republican leader that wants to default on our debt. >> that's a different story. not the fiscal cliff. that's the debt ceiling debate we were talking about. what he is saying is, give us the free checkbook, the additional trillions we want to spend, it has to happen through the house. he's taking a shot at the republicans. that's different from the fiscal cliff. >> well, they are intertwined. i mean, they are not separate entities and the issue here is the language that he used. he conflated republicans holding their own children hostage and then murdering them. imagine if a republican had said something like that. but you don't hear about it. you hear about it here -- >> because we put it here on fox

news. i like to play the game deal or no deal -- >> taken. >> sorry. >> juliette, we are going to begin with you. >> okay. >> let me know what you think -- deal or no deal by the deadline? >> no deal like lindsay graham says. the meeting was political theater. >> andrea. >> no deal. he doesn't want one. [laughter] >> unfortunately, there probably will be something in early january -- >> with the parachute or not? >> it will be, whatever it is, it will be a bad deal for everybody. >> squishy republicans i. you are mad at republicans, you are mad at democrats. >> i am mad at lawmakers in d.c. -- >> i think you are going to say deal. >> i don't think there will be a deal before december 31. but i think they will put a place in deal to vote before january 7 and the markets would panic. >> the market's going to panic on monday. >> juan, aren't you excited -- we are going back to the tax

rates? >> i think they're appropriate. but i am not excited about it. >> democrats go to pass further cuts, isn't that an acknowledgement that the clinton tax rates were too high. >> it's an acknowledgement that what has been said at the table is true. >> come on. you don't want to hear -- >> i thought you loved the clinton tax cuts. >> 39%. >> obama -- tax cuts. wait for it. hillary clinton is coming back to work after her concussion. will she finally have to face the music on the benghazi attack? and the head of the epa is stepping down after shady behavior is uncovered, next on "the five." this was the hole my waist was on. but since i've been on alli, am i on this one? nope. am i on this one? no, no, no, no, no. i am on this one.

["pretty woman" playing]. >> i picked that music. welcome back, everybody. we have breaking news this morning. secretary of state hillary clinton coming back to work. the cob cushion is becoming less concussed, apparently. and she may testify about what she scbiew when, regarding benghazi -- maybe.

good news for madam secretary and john kerry's position is on hold, while republicans decide whether to wait for mrs. clinton before approving him. bad news for four dead americans. hillary's testimony is months overdue. i hope mrs. clinton backs up her promise. i take full responsibility for benghazi -- remember that. i hope you do, madam secretary. i hope we don't let those men die without honest answers. i hope a lot. in sports and business, my former careers, once you hope -- you have already lost. kimberly, wow. >> she's going to come back and testify and then what? >> well, this has been disappointing. why did we are to put the big push on her to come and do the right thing? she has a health issue, she has a health issue. concussion -- memory loss involved? you know? what is the extent of this? i don't know. it just seems highly

suspicious -- from a cynical former prosecutor. >> you call it typical clintonesque. >> yeah. i am not really buying this. i am not sure, eric, if she does testify, we are going to get all the answers, anyway. the clintons haven't been the most forthcoming in their testimony, when they have been sworn under oath. i hope that the g.o.p. senators ask her three questions. the first one is, why wasn't that consulate secured after the two attacks? or why weren't they pulled out of that consulate? or why wasn't it closed? and if i'my, why weren't there any answers? who pushed the video, as we like to say here on "the five"? >> who ordered them to stand down? did you talk to the president that day? what involvement did he have? i want a timeline of that entire day for her. >> what do you make of this? hillary coming back i. well, yeah, the benghazi flu. i am kind of -- yeah.

i am with kimberly. i don't know. the whole -- did she have memory loss? it wouldn't surprise me if that happened. do i have to say, hillary clinton has served her country. she has been a work horse, even when she was a vice-president -- she acted like she was vice-president -- in the white house with her president husband. but the years go by and the election cycles go by, i get more and more mistrustful of politics and politicians. >> by the way, is she going to be forthcoming with the testimony that she gives? >> i don't know why you would impugn her reputationism we are not! >> law firm, juan. the rose law firm. >> way out of line. let me just say -- let me say, most of the american people have judged hillary clinton to be the most popular politician in this country for a reason. people respect the amount of work she has done and she has represented this country and the face of america to the world. that's why she has great prospects to be the next

president. let me finish up here. again, breaking newsue wouldn't believe it -- there was a report put out on benghazi and it is widely respected and honored report that indicates there were no lies told, no coverup. there were no assets held from protecting the consulate -- i don't get it. >> that was from the beckel institute. >> oh, i see. >> that institute is under investigation. >> oh -- anything that doesn't fit the fact that there are aliens in new mexico, you don't believe it. >> a government investigation. >> there was other news. epa chief lisa jackson is stepping down. we found out she had been using an alias -- you know -- >> i am quite surprised that this is even happening because so far what you have seen is a lack of accountability. nobody's stepping down or stepping aside. when they said four officials were resigning and stepping aside, they actually are in fact going to be still retaining

government jobs. why isn't eric holder stepping down? that should be the first one. >> how was eric holder involved in benghazi? >> he's not. follow the thread, okay, juan? he's doing the investigation -- >> no, he didn't do the investigation. >> no. remember. he was sending the fbi in to do the investigation, wink-wink -- that couldn't give imus answers before the presidential election. but holder was going to get back to us. >> what about this -- can you imagine -- >> i like the wink. that was good. >> lisa jackson was using an alias, a male alias to conduct official business. >> 12,000 emails -- it's like petraeus and the admiral, what are they doing? when do they get anything done in washington? >> not transparent. >> 12,000 emails. i don't think i have sent 12,000 emails in my life. >> maybe text messages. the biggest failure under her watch, the keystone pipeline. her administration blocked the

keystone pipeline, actively, per president obama. >> she can step aside and not have to -- answer to what she was doing with the emails. >> no, no. i think sheville to answer and she should answer. to me, that is corruption. if you are avoiding having your emails seen and understood as a public official, you are wrong. let me say, i think she has been an outstanding public servant. i think the environmentalists have been disappointed that president obama hasn't listened to her, especially on fracking. ele pipeline. but that's part of the story, too. >> why was she pretending to be a man? >> very strange. very, very strange. >> we'll dig into that. gun owner and defender of the second amendment, i resent michael moore's anti-american and racist comments. you won't believe what this clown said now, coming up. share everything.

share brotherly love. share one up's. mom ? mom ? the share everything plan. lets your family share a pool of data across 10 devices with unlimited talk and text. get a sptrum 2 by lg for $49.99 constipated? yeah. mm. some laxatives like dulcolax can cause cramps. but phillips' caplets don't. they have magnesium. for effective relief of occasional constipation. thanks. [ phillips' lady ] live the regular life. phillips'.

>> it is an interesting choice for this block. >> it was inevitable that michael moore would weigh in on the gun control debate. it was no surprise that he plameed the mass shooting on -- of all things -- >> i think we are very frightened people since we landed on the shores. we were frightened of the native people. we were frightened of the slaves we brought over, as we should have been. and -- and we have lived -- and those in power have known how to manipulate us with fear. fear. fear is use to the point where everybody feels like they have to have a gun in their house.

so why is that? what are they really afraid of it. what do you think of? who is going to break in the house? freckle-faced jimmy down the street in i don't think so. i don't think that's who they are afraid of. >> okay. so he is basically talking about, kimberly, how whitey people have guns -- i am assuming -- to keep away from black people, which is just -- it's so beyond the pale. every time he does this, he loses credibility. >> honestly, he is insufferable. i look at him -- i hear what he has to say, it's worse. he doesn't make any sense. he is part of the problem. he is the one that creates the hist earia. he's a divider, he is not a uniter. he is putting down this country, doesn't have a positive thing to say about americans at all. honestly, he makes us sound like the worst country, the most corrupt eye mean, move! goodbye, michael! if you hate it so much. >> juan, what do you think?

he went on to say more slanderous things, relax, white people, put down your guns and actually insinuated that white people have guns because of black people and crime. it's as if white people don't commit any crime, which they do. they commit a lot. >> to my mind, it's unnecessary. i think it introduces an element and allows people to ignore reality, which is, you know, look, if you look historically, it was efforts by whites to take gunasway from black people that started this argument. this came up in the supreme court debate, reaffirming the second amendment rights. let me say, when you look at who owns guns, it is overwhelmingly republicans. if you look at gun ownership -- >> oh, really -- [overlapping dialogue] >> that's the true. >> that's so inaccurate. >> 51% of americans believe in the right to own gun it's. >> i didn't say believe -- i said who owns guns --

>> that's inaccurate. >> no, it's not! >> the skew is, yes tdoes skew to republican, but it is not an overwhelming majority. look, michael moore is wrong. white people who own guns are not afraid of freckle-faced jimmy down the block or afraid of black people. white people are afraid of moron, idiot liberals like michael moore who think they are going to have their guns taken away because they have a liberal democrat in office and in the senate. so white people buy guns and make sure they have guns, if these idiots have their way, they will take them away or stop selling them. i think his comments were racist, in themselves. that's assuming that black people commit crime. that's what he is saying -- >> why are we afraid of black people, michael moore. >> i can't understand -- i understand he made $50 million on bowling for columbine, so

he's relevant with a gun issue comes up. but it is so hard to take him seriously, when he tries to be the ramshackle guy next door in a million-dollar place here in new york city and out in michigan -- >> and he has bodyguards. >> $50 million net worth, the numbers that i see -- come on. >> he has bodyguards. i don't know if they are guarding him -- >> who is he afraid of it i. i really liked -- [overlapping dialogue] >> more hollywood chatter, kimberly, matt damon -- your hero -- is giving up on washington, d.c. yes, matt damon is saying that the game is rigged. boo-hoo. i think he is trying to get press for his new movie, which we are going to talk bpromise land. there is rumors that it was funded by the united arab emirates, which is a conflict of interest, considering it's an anti-fracking movie. >> what happened to him?

he was normal and cool -- >> he's fine. >> no, he's not. >> he's fine. i am telling you, he is not that fine. he seems really weird. >> matt damon? >> matt damon, the bjorn identity and he gave up that franchise, it's downhill -- >> he is doing art films. that's the problem. >> he has become liberal and bizarre. he is not making any sense. he is upset with hollywood -- i mean with washington, d.c. and -- >> wait a minute, wait a minute. >> benghazi -- >> i was going on say -- >> aren't the republicans concerned there is too much government and conspiracies and i mean, that the game is rigged and the honest working man isn't getting a break? >> he is right to be upset about benghazi. >> it's all natural gas's fault. >> he is wrong about fracking. >> i don't know if he's wrong or right. >> and valerie, big oil to try to kill the fracking. >> isn't that politics? >> isn't that interesting? he says republicans and democrats want to get re-elected. he wants to sell movies.

we lost some great people in 2012. we will pay our respects when we come back.

want to know what i did in the last five hours? i played a round of golf. then i read a book while teaching myself how to play guitar; ran ten miles while knitting myself a sweater; jumped out of a plane. finally, i became a ping pong master while recording my debut album. how you ask? with 5-hour energy. i get hours of energy now -- no crash later. wait to see the next five hours.

but with advair, i'm breathing better. so now i can be in the scene. advair is clinically proven to help significantly improve lung function. unlike most copd medications, advair contains both an anti-inflammatory and a long-acting bronchodilator working together to help improve your lung function all day. advair won't replace fast-acting inhalers for sudden symptoms and should not be used more than twice a day. people with copd taking advair may have a higher chance of pneumonia. advair may increase your risk of osteoporosis and some eye problems. tell your doctor if you have a heart condition or high blood pressure before taking advair. if you're still having difficulty breathing, ask your doctor if including advair could help improve your lung function.

get your first full prescription free and save on refills at advaircopd.com. let'for an idea.s - a grand idea called america. the idea that if you work hard, if you have a dream, if you work with your neighbors... you can do most anything. this led to other ideas like lerty and rock 'n' roll. to free markets, free enterprise, and free refills. it put a man on the moon and a phone in your pocket. our country's gone through a lot over the centuries and a half. but this idea isn't fragile. when times get tough, it rallies us as one. every day, more people believe in the american idea and when they do, the dream comes true.

we're grateful to be a part of it.
